Gov. Kathy Hochul made on Wednesday her third visit to an MTA board meeting since taking office, telling the board about the “disconnect” between Washington, DC and New York that could endanger the long-term future of congestion pricing.
During the meeting held at Grand Central Station, Hochul cited two potential threats to public transportation from the federal government. The first one centers around the Trump U.S. Department of Transportation’s (USDOT) attempt to kill the toll program by rescinding Biden-era federal support.
